Last night was one for the books!!

Austin asked to go to bed around 8:30, we we did his whole bedtime routine and put him down. Around 9:30 he starts screaming and crying, I go in to check on him and he is standing up but still sleeping. I thought his ears might have been bothering him since he had been picking at them all night. But he is covered in sweat and saying that he needs help getting out. So I can only assume that he was having a nightmare

Well these "nightmares" continued every thirty mins, with him waking up screaming and crying. Nothing could calm him down. Finally around 1:30 Michael brought him into our room so he could sleep with us, hoping he would feel safer. Well Austin does not do well in our bed, he kicks, lays sideways and pretty much kicks us both out of bed. Around 2:30 Michael couldn't take it anymore and went to sleep on the couch.

Minutes later Michael comes into the bedroom looking for his shirt, shoes, etc. He told me that the water alarm was going off in the utility closet and he needed to check on it. Low and behold there is a leak in the ceiling dumping water into our closet. The floor is covered in water. Just what we need to be dealing with!!!

Around 3:00 Austin decides that he is going to climb out of our bed and go back to his room. So Michael heads back to our room to sleep. I get Austin all settled back into his bed and head to bed. Not 10 minutes later Austin is screaming and crying again. I decide to turn off the monitor and let sleep on the couch, so Michael can get some rest. I get Austin settled down again and lay down on the couch only to have Austin wake up again!

This went on every thirty minutes from 9:30 pm until 5:00 am. Needless to say I did not sleep at all. Finally at 5:00 he settled down enough to get some sleep, but was woken up again when Michael went outside around 6:45 to check on the closet.

So here Austin and I sit on the couch watching cartoons waiting for the HOA maintenance guy to get here to look at the leak. We are both running on about 2 hours of sleep. Nap time cannot come soon enough.
